Cage Contender 6 Promoter John Ferguson Ready For Big Weekend

With the weekend fast approaching towards the Cage Contender 6 event in Altrincham, England, we caught up with fight promoter John Ferguson to talk about the fights on the card and the main event that seems to be catching the eye of many international fight fans.

Fight fans in Europe are in for a treat this weekend, when two of the continents fastest rising welterweight stars collide in the cage. Danny Mitchell (8-1) takes on Gunnar Nelson (6-0-1) in a battle that is already expected to rival some of the fight of the year contenders in the award stakes. Nelson, who holds two gold medals from the IBJFF Pan American Championships in 2009, goes into the fight as an underdog against his more experienced counterpart. Mitchell has picked up wins against M-1 Team England welterweight Simon Phillips, as well as Cage Rage veterans Jordan James and Lee Doski.

“Preparation for this one has been the same as any other Cage Contender,” says promoter John Ferguson. “We’ve had a few more problems this time because it’s a new market, but we’ve battled through it and we are now coming out the other side. Ticket sales are going strong and it’s really starting to work."
